Unexpected Happiness (Vegeta x Goku)

Chapter 20

Bardock swung his fist again to hit Ginyu in the face again, but the larger man caught his fist before he could land the strike. The saiyan didn't let up and used his other hand to catch his opponent in the gut, knocking the wind out of Ginyu. The amount of force the commander used had the purple man stumbling back a few steps, releasing the saiyan's hand.

The alpha snarled as he started to hit the captain with a series of quick strikes that had the larger man off guard. All he could think about was that this man had hurt his son, and he needed to pay. Bardock's anger overwhelmed him so much that he didn't see Ginyu's leg kick out at his ribs.

The hit sent him flying through a couple of steel walls before he stopped with metal curling around him. He growled as he used his hands to start to pull the rest of his body out of the dent he made when he impacted the wall. The saiyan could feel something drip down his arm, and his eyes were quick to spot a small cut above his elbow. The sight of his own blood just angered him more.

"Was that the best you got?" Ginyu's voice had a snarl forming Bardock's face as he glared at the bigger man. "I'm not even trying. You could at least put up more of a fight than the little beta we have. At least he actually did damage when he fought."

That had Bardock twitching for a second before he took a deep breath and let it out. He hopped from the dent in the wall to stand on his feet in a more relaxed stance. He needed to keep a clear head since Ginyu is one of the few opponents he's come across that was as strong as he was. He can't afford to make a mistake.

"Oh ho." Ginyu chuckled as he watched the commander. "Finally going to give me a good fight? I hope you can. It's been awhile since anyone has given me a challenge."

"Enjoy it because I'm going to kill you." Bardock hissed.

"Oh really. I've heard that threat before, monkey, and no one has come close."

"They weren't me." The alpha snapped waiting for Ginyu to advance. He knew better than to blindly charge the purple commander, all that would do would be to allow Ginyu to control the flow of the fight and that could not happen if he wanted to win. Moments crept by, and he could see the purple alien get twitchy.

"Not going to attack, monkey?"

"It's your turn." Bardock smirked. "Unless you're scared."

"Calling me out like that won't work." Ginyu stated offhandedly, but his words only made the saiyan commander smirk. The larger man growled out a bit at his opponent's expression. When Bardock started to chuckle, Ginyu launched himself at the alpha. "Quit laughing at me!"

The saiyan caught Ginyu's blow before he spun and threw the purple commander over his shoulder and slammed him into the floor. His eyes widened when Bardock's fist hammered into the floor as he managed to avoid the lethal hit by tilting his head at the last second. He realized this saiyan was playing for keeps, and if he didn't get back in control of the fight and quick, the filthy monkey might actually be able to back his threat up.

Chorri was flung to the side by a fat saiyan before she could even get a hit in. She managed to turn in midair to land on all fours with her ears flat against her head and a hiss coming from her throat. Her eyes flickered over the group that had broken down the door, and she felt worried.
